Cosmic Plainsong -disquiet 0272 by Zedkah published on 2017-03-19T23:01:23Z Cosmic Plainsong -disquiet 0272 The intervals are quite simple - not eerie or all that exotic (as mzero says).... but the sound is big and ageless. Perhaps too insistant to be ambient, ptolmeic, all set in place with a the sure hand of a watchmaker god. My method was to use the pitches starting with the root note b ( B2 -123.47, E3-164.81, B3 -246.94, F#4-369.99, D#5-622.25, B5-987.77) and to have each note (drone) pulse/throb in keeping with the same ratios(1,4/3,2,3,5,8). I realised this twice. Once in protools using the organ plug in and a amplitude filter tied to the tempo. The organ also had its own pulsing wheel thing going on which I hadn't quite factored for. The organ sound was a bit gritty/ dirty. I also had a go at realising the whole thing in pure data- which was made surprisingly easy by finding the patch tremtonett3:dimittripaile2011 - all the difficult stuff was done I added 3 more channels and changed a few values. this gave a cleaner, purer realisation. The two versions (12 tracks as I did one planet at a time) were all mixed and merged. with an overall arc of clean -> dirty -> clean but wobbly. A wide stereo that narrows down A subtle touch of comp and rev to keep it smooth.

It's the sweetest it could be! 2017-03-20T23:18:21Z Comment by Daniel Diaz Lovely drone, kept me engaged till the end.
